自己概念の多面性と心理的well-beingの関連

抄録

This study investigated the relationship between self-concept variability and psychological well-being. The results show that self-concept variability positively relates to a sense of having a “purpose in life” and “personality growth.” By dividing the self-concept variability into positive and negative aspects, positive self-concept variability relates positively and negative self-concept variability relates negatively to psychological well-being. In addition, the size and balance of the effect that the positive and negative self-concept variability caused was different depending on the type of psychological function. In particular, positive self-concept variability strongly influenced the way a person perceives the future, such as concepts of “personal growth” or “purpose in life.” On the other hand, negative self-concept variability influenced the perceived current state of existence of the self, such as “self-acceptance.”
